Chris Matthews Unveils Photograph of Republican Racial Code Book

NEW YORK – This afternoon on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews, host Chris Matthews revealed a photograph of what he claims is the book that contains Republican racial code words. The photograph shows an old and worn leather bound book that appears to have several hundred pages. Matthews said the photograph was sent to him by a former Bain investor who told him the book pictured is the one that Republicans, including presidential candidate Mitt Romney, have used as a source for racial coding since the Reagan era.

After showing the photograph Matthews exploded with emotion.

“We now have the proof that exposes Mitt Romney and the Republican party for what they really are, a bunch of rich white guys who use coded language to tell the American people that Barack Obama is a black man. In this day and age, how is something like this possible?”

Matthews looked at the photo of the book with disgust.

“How can we Americans look at our reflections in the mirror when the horrors of racism are still looking back at us? I’m ashamed! I’m ashamed of my country and I’m ashamed of my ancestors who could have been slave owners.”

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I wasn’t going to bring that up. Are you guys thinking what I’m thinking? Do you you think a Romney administration will take away little Gabby’s gold medals?

EUGENE ROBINSON: I have no doubt it’s the first thing Romney will do as president.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Oh God! And this is the rich white man Republicans want to be president of the United States, Joan?

JOAN WALSH: We haven’t even taken into account his plan to populate the country with rape babies.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: We can only hope that my photograph of their racial code book will help stop Mitt Romney and the Republicans from taking away Gabby’s gold medals. Hopefully the American people will come through for poor little Gabby Douglas on November six.

EUGENE ROBINSON: I think I’m going to be sick.

Chris Matthews comforted Eugene Robinson as the show went to commercial.
